Product Information

Full details

The Vissla 7 Seas 4-3 Full Chest Zip Wetsuit is designed for surfers who frequent cold water environments between 51 and 58 degrees Fahrenheit (11-14 degrees Celsius). Utilizing premium Japanese limestone-based neoprene, this suit offers a balance of warmth, flexibility, and sustainability through its dope-dyed fabric construction. While it provides excellent insulation and thermal retention, users should note that the high-performance material requires diligent freshwater rinsing and shaded drying to prevent premature degradation of the seals and neoprene.

FAQs

What is the ideal water temperature for this wetsuit?

This suit performs best in water temperatures ranging from 51 to 58 degrees Fahrenheit (11-14 degrees Celsius).

Does the suit come with a way to store my key?

Yes, it features an integrated secure key cord for storing your house or car key safely while you are in the water.

Can I wash the suit in a washing machine?

No. Never put a wetsuit in a washing machine or dryer. Hand rinse with fresh water and hang dry in the shade.

Why is limestone neoprene better?

Limestone-based neoprene is more environmentally friendly than petroleum-based alternatives and offers higher heat retention and flexibility.

How should I store my wetsuit for long periods?

Store it folded loosely or on a wide hanger in a cool, dry, and dark place. Avoid storing in a hot car or direct sunlight.

What does 'dope-dyed' mean?

Dope-dyed is an eco-friendly fabric process that infuses pigment into the fiber during the extrusion process, leading to less water pollution and better fade resistance.

Troubleshooting

Water flushing through the neck or cuffs

Ensure the Glideskin neck flap is pulled down completely and sits flat against the skin; check for sand trapped in the cuff seals.

Difficulty getting the suit on

Use a plastic bag over your feet to help them slide through the leg openings; ensure the suit is bone dry before putting it on.

Stiffening of the neoprene

Soak the suit in specialized wetsuit shampoo to remove salt buildup and restore suppleness to the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior warmth-to-weight ratio
  • High-stretch material allows for unrestricted paddling
  • Eco-conscious material and dye selection
  • Fast-drying thermal lining for back-to-back sessions
  • Durable seam sealing prevents leaks

Cons

  • Requires careful maintenance to protect specialized seals
  • Tight fit can be challenging to put on initially
  • Not intended for extreme cold below 51 degrees Fahrenheit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper care is vital for maintaining the integrity of the limestone neoprene. Always rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water after every ocean session to remove salt and grit. When drying, always hang the suit on a wide, wetsuit-specific hanger—never a thin wire hanger, which can stretch the shoulder fabric. Crucially, keep the suit out of direct sunlight, as UV rays break down the neoprene and cause the elastic materials to stiffen and crack. For storage, ensure the suit is completely dry before folding or hanging in a cool, dark environment.
